Directory Changer
-----------------
If you want a suitable & good chdir program so bad, this list
can help to confuse you more :-)
---
Note
---
index-based path switcher doesn't need multiple dirname feature
Some *standard* enhancements over DOS CD:
-can switch drive+dir at the same time
-partial dirname matching
-back switching .., ...
-*free* delimiter (\,/,' ')
-error level
-network compatible
Non standard enhancements:
-can switch to file-attributed-dir (for example hidden dir)
